To the Editor of the NEw DosnsloN.
Your special correspondent in last
Issue must have been Frustrated by
severe attack of didn't pass" in
the School of Ancient Languages.
He must have been asleep during the
fall term and, like Rip Van Wrinkle,
has recently walked up and found
himself considerably behind the
times
We feel sure that no conscientious
young man who has been member
of one of Prof Berkeley's classes.
after having gone through the term,
doing just and honest work. will
make such assertions as were made
by the special CORES pendent in last
issue. The one who studies as he
should has no desire. much less oc-
casion, to express such sentiments.
1t is evident, from the Indignation
of the students caused by the arti-
Gle, that the sentiments were purely
those of the special correspondents
own self, and that they were not en-
dorsed by the conscientious students
of the University.
The writer must have been forget
ful of the fact that such an article
must be greatly detrimental to the
institution. The very statement of
the writer about the ''unintelligible
grunts, proves his absolute disquak
itication to be member of class
in Ancient Languages. The remarks
of the Professor are brief, plain and
to the point, and consequently are
more forcible than the seneless chat
ter of the professor" who wishes to
show TO his class how much he
knows about the subject II should
be the duty of the Professor TO hear
the student recite, to correct his err
rors. and to encourage him to study
for himself. And this Professor
Berkeley does most admirably.
Then let us rather appreciate the
kind and able efforts of our Profess
sors. Let us do our own studying
and do it ON our own merits, without
endeavoring to burden our Profess
sors with responsibilities which we
should bear. A STUDENT
in the school of Ancient
Languages.

The Price of Wheat.

The ruling price of wheat in this
market now seems to be low, viz: rs
cents. In fact, it is lower than we
like to see our farmers sell their
crop. But this market does not con-
troll the price of grain and it will not
be much higher, so those who have
wheat to sell would do better to put
it on the market now and pocket the
cash than to get ten cents more for
it in the spring after the additional
shrinkage of the winter plus what
will be destroyed by vermin, to say
nothing of the additional wear and
tear of hauling it through mud hub
deep.

The Union Supply Agency.

The Union Supply Agency, under
the auspices of the Farmers Union,
has opend store and general sup
ply agency in the Sturgiss building,
opposite the B. Il 0. depot in Nor
gantown.
This establishment is opened to
supply goods at the lowest possible
figures to any who want to buy for
cash. The store will not only sell
goods for cash, but will buy produce
for cash, or will ship farm products
if customers desire it.
1t is not designed as a money
making enterprise. all goods will be
sold at cost and the cost of carriage
and handling them, but no credit
will be given to anyone. The cash
system, o. every one knows, will
make goods cheaper to the consumer.
Call and examine goods and get
prices. The wonderfully low prices
are not confined to the stockholders
Of the Agency, but may be had by
any one.

Eaual TO the Best.

MIR. Edward Hoyt, foreman of the
squad of steam filters, who placed
the heaters in the University and
in Thos. R. Evans house, left
some linen with Chas. P. Wilson,
the agent for the Muskingum laun-
dry. After Mr.. Hoyt's departure the
linen was forwarded to him in New
York. After receiving it he wrote
to the agent as follows: "Mr. G. r.
Wilson: The linen / left with you
to be laundried was received o. X.
and l must say that for cleanliness,
whiteness and excellence of finish
it is hard to beat and fully equals
the work done by our New York
laundries" This is quite compli-
ment for Charley's laandry and is
well deserved one. He is delivering
the incest laundry work ever brought

NUMEROUS SUGGESTIONS.
BY Some Of the ''New DOminion's''
Readers.

"Say, why don't you talk water
works through the New DoNnNIoN?'
said Front street manufacturer to
us yesterday.
"Well, we did talk water works
until we were tired and made every
one else tired, and it didn't do much
good" replied the newspaper man.
"Yes, but your talk of year or
two ago did an immense amount of
good. 1t set many people to think
ing AND Investigating and has been
the cause of people gaining much in
formation on that subject. Why /
know twenty persons who would
heartily support movement to
build water works now who were
bitterly opposed to any such thing
two years ago."
"And you think there would be
some hope of carrying it through
now, do you?' queried the scribe.
"Yes sir, do"
Now give us your reasons for
thinking So" continued the New
DOMINION.
of you will figure little, as many
have been doing, you will readily see
that it is not such bugaboo as rep
resented. There are several persons
in town who would cheerfully pay
water tax of $75 annually and then
get it much cheaper than now, to
say nothing of the convenience,
cleanliness and comfort afforded, be-
sides the pure water, which would
be a great luxury. Besides that, it
would reduce the COST of insurance
about half, and that item would al
most pay ones water privilege"
THAT sounds well, but can you
get our people to look at it in that
way? asked the reporter
Yes sir, you can. Now look at the
great inconvenience many people are
put to at this time to get water.
They have not for years been so
nearly the point Of a water famine
as now, and can look at the matter
in different light"
4AhOVhOi lOOdt NOAulhuCO OuC
gentleman, sit would bring enter
prising people and capital here. A
man who has money and is seeking
a place to invest it will never locate
in town where every public enter
prise is cried down and defeated.
And not considering that, the cree
ton of water works would add about
20 per cent to the value of all the
property in town. Yes, sir, we
ought to have water works."
~
"Have you noticed the quiet and
good order that has prevailed upon
the streets for some time past?" re-
marked an uptown business man,
last night.
We replied that it was certainly
very noticeable.
"That all comes of having good
officers who enforce the law and let
offenders understand that every in
fraction will be punished.

church and Sunday School, assem-
bled in the form of donation party
at the residence of Prof Reynolds.
Although complete surprise, the
family received the guests with a
hearty good will and clearly demon

was fully appreciated. The presents
were of various descriptions, compris-
ing both the useful and ornamental.
One thing in particular we cannot
refrain from mentioning was hand
some stand lamp donated to Prof
Reynolds By the young men of his
Sunday School class. S. F. Reed
was appointed to present the lamp,
and made neat little speech in
which he stated that this was in

members of his class. Therecipient
thanked the donors in a cordial
style and babe all an old timed well

it may be their privilege to partici-
pate in another as enjoyable occasion

AN UNCOMMON FEE.
A Grateful Patient Who Offered H is Whole
 Stock in Trade to Physician.

A Grateful Patient Who Offered H is Whole
 Stock in Trade to a Physician.
 The medical profession does not bear the reputation of a calling which develops a grasping and ayaricious character On the contrary there is no vocation in which gratuitous serv- ice is more frequently rendered. But here is case in which the patient offered as a fee his whole stock in trade, and the physician received it. The case does infinite credit to the patients generous impulses and thoughtful survey of his resources.
 The other day a ragged, unkempt newsboy pulled the bell of the resi- dence of Dr. George F. Shrady, and asked the servant if ''the doc was in. " Just then Dr. Shrady emerged from the parlor, and the newsboy made rush at him with an upturned thumb.
 "What's the matter, boyP" asked the doctor.
 ''Pisen'd thumb. doctor," answered the youth.
 "How?"
 Cat"
 "H'mI Come in"
 The gamin marched into the study, and had his "pisen'd thumb' duly doctored. During the process he ex- plained that he had been chasing a cat.
 T cornered the old Tom in an ash barrel" continued the newsboy, "an' ies' as l was pullin' him out by his tail he goes back on hisself turns around, and gives me an almighty bite. "
 "Why did you come to meP" asked Dr. Shrady.
 "Oh! didn't want to go to any O them common fizzishuns.
 ''But uncommon physicians want uncommon fees," said the doctor, eye ing the urchin; chow much have you gotP'
 The boy dived into his ragged trou- sers' pocket, fished out some cents, and held them in his open, dirty hand. Dr. Shrady smiled, and told him to put them back"
 Say, doc," said the lad, determin ed to pay something; ''here take Daily NooS," and he fopped one on the table. Just as he got to the door of the study he suddenly turned back, and said: Say, doctor, I only got mother left: yer might ters well have this," and Topped the second Daily Noos on the table. Then he paddled off to the front door. hitoiing up his trousers, but a thought seemed to strike him suddenly, and turning back he peered in at the study door, and said, as he pulled lock of his hair; ''Say, doc, fergot ter thank yez.
 Dr. Shrady has many rich patients, but this is the first time he has had a patients whole stock in trade as fee. N r HerGId,
